Proud to be a Canadian

I am proud to be a Canadian. Wait, I am not Canadian, despite many people thinking that I am (nope, those are not Canadians--they know better). Why I am proud to live in Canada these days?

Because of this guy:

Chris Hadfield has had an amazing run, tweeting up a storm from the International Space Station. He has had cool videos of what happens when you wring a wet towel in space, he has had heaps of great Q&As, and his twitter feed has engaged both legendary astronauts (Buzz Aldrin) and fake space travelers (William Shatner, etc.). It has been incredibly entertaining and incredibly educational. What a phenomenal ambassador for the space program (such as it is these days) and for Canada.

Clear skies on your way back, Sir. I am sure you will stick the landing, just like you have aced everything up to this point.

Intro

Greetings! I am a political scientist, specializing in International Relations, my research and teaching focus on ethnic conflict and civil-military relations. I watch way too much TV, and I like movies as well so I tend to write about both and find IR stuff in pop culture. I rant alot about American politics and sometimes about Canadian politics. I like to take ideas I once learned a long time ago and apply them to whatever strikes my fancy.
